More Vegan Cupcakes!

So I baked more cupcakes today. I made some orange cupcakes, and chai late cup cupcakes and they both came out awesome. I made up the orange cupcake recipe, and then i got the chai late cupcake recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World. I had a bit of a problem with the results of the orange cupcakes, but nothing too major. The consistency is a little spongey, and the frosting isn't stiff enough. The only reason the frosting isn't stiff enough is because i put orange juice in it, it got too watery so I added another cup of confectioners sugar. Next time I'll probably get some orange extract and put it in the cupcakes and frosting for a stronger flavor. Over all they look and taste great, and took about an hour to make them both.

If you have orange extract, substitute 1 1/2 teaspoon of that instead of the splash of OJIf the frosting isn't stiff enough, keep adding confectioners sugar to it, and refridgerate before putting on.Vegan Chai Late Cupcakes:

Put the cup of soy milk in a small sauce pan over medium heat, once it's almost to a boil remove from heat and add the tea bags and let sit for 10 minutes. Remove and squeeze milk out of tea bags. If it doesn't measure out to 1 cup once cooled, just add in extra soy milk. mix all ingredients together.
